Minimum Configuration

This topic relates to radio sets on the Advanced Trio Diagnostics driver.

When you add an item to the database, various properties on the item's configuration Form are assigned a value automatically. These default values are assigned on creation of the database item, to help reduce the amount of manual configuration that is required. As such, you only need configure a subset of the properties that exist on an item's configuration Form. Typically, the properties you have to configure include:

• Those properties that require a value, but for which the property field is blank
• Those properties for which the value needs to differ from the default.

For a radio set on this driver to be capable of functioning in ClearSCADA, as a minimum you have to specify these properties on the item's configuration Form:

• The radio channel with which the set is associated (Outstation Set tab)
• The Controller Address (Trio Diagnostics Advanced tab)
• The SID Code requirements (Trio Diagnostics Advanced tab).

Also ensure that the radio set and the database items on which it depends are In Service, and have saved, valid configuration. This will produce a radio set that is capable of functioning using the default configuration settings.
